Chapter 1184 - Three Sick Children
Panda Novel
“Alright, I’ll go with you. I’ve got nothing to do today, anyway.”
Chen Xiaobei agreed.
“That’s great!” Wenren Muyue said excitedly, “Where are you? I’ll send a car over to pick you up.”
…
33rd Street was the center of the outer city. It was much safer and modern than the streets outside.
But since it was far from 1st Street, there was not a shadow of Silver Plume nobles here.
To avoid being recognized, Wenren Muyue put on a hat to cover up her silver hair and a pair of oversized sunglasses to cover nearly half her face.
When Chen Xiaobei arrived, instead of the little girl, Qing’er; there was a breathtakingly good-looking young man standing next to Wenren Muyue, holding an umbrella attentively over her.
The man was not a Silver Plume noble. But his clothes and his aura screamed aristocrat.
In all likelihood, he was from a family of outsiders that were of the same status as the Lu Family.
“Ms. Muyue, I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”
Chen Xiaobei nodded politely as he approached the couple.
“Mr. Chen, you’re too polite. We have only just arrived.” Wenren Muyue was all smiles, adding a touch of fondness to her already gorgeous face.
“Muyue, is this the young miracle doctor you were talking about?” The young man gave Chen Xiaobei a once over and exclaimed, “Wow! He’s really young! Could he really do it?”
“He was able to suppress the cold. What do you think?” Wenren Muyue retorted in a playful tone.
Chen Xiaobei’s eyebrows raised. It seemed that Wenren Muyue and this young man were pretty close.
“How are you Doctor Chen? My name is Miao Yiyue, I’m Muyue’s childhood best friend!”
The young man put out his hand like a gentleman.
Chen Xiaobei shook it politely. “Since you already know who I am, I’ll skip the introduction.”
When he heard the words ‘childhood best friend’, Chen Xiaobei did a doubletake on Miao Yiyue.
Wenren Muyue saw what he did and she little face flustered as she tried to explain, “Mr. Chen, please don’t take it the wrong way, Yiyue and are very good friends. We’re just friends.”
“You don’t have to explain. I didn’t even say that you guys are a couple…” Chen Xiaobei said with a smile.
This girl really was quite naïve.
She was terribly sick with only six months left to live. Even if she wanted to be more than just friends with Miao Yiyue, he might not say yes.
“Is this the pediatric hospital?”
Chen Xiaobei looked up at the building and asked.
“Yes.” Wenren Muyue nodded and said, “This is the only hospital that specializes in treating children. Most of the patients here are minors.”
“Western medicine?” Chen Xiaobei examined the architecture of the building. The air was permeated with the smell of western drugs; there was not a whiff of herbal medicine.
“Yes. This is a western medicine medical hospital,” Wenren Muyue replied. “Chen Xiaobei must know that traditional Chinese medicine is a considered high-end here in Northern Wilderness Starfield. So the traditional Chinese doctors don’t bother to treat these outsider children. Western doctors have no problem treating more common illnesses. But they are helpless when it comes to some more complicated diseases. I’ve asked for you to come today so that you can take a look at a few of the kids who have some strange, seemingly incurable sickness!”
Chen Xiaobei’s curiosity was piqued.
“You sound very familiar with this place.”
“Of course!” Miao Yiyue jumped into the conversation. “Every year, Muyue would donate a lot of Spiritual Stones to this hospital. She has gotten to know the kids who were unable to be treated!”
Chen Xiaobei was very impressed and praised, “Ms. Muyue really is a woman with the heart of the bodhisattva. There’s not a lot of good people your age!”
“You’re overpraising, Mr. Chen. I’m just doing what I can. I cannot accept such high praise.”
Wenren Muyue lowered her head shyly.
“Overpraise? There’s no such thing!” Miao Yiyue said, “Our Muyue is the best. There is no way to overpraise you! It’s sad that the god didn’t reward the good people!”
Wenren Muyue’s smile disappeared when he said this.
Chen Xiaobei thought of the discussion he had with Yanwang.
The thing was, the law of heaven was actually to punish evil and reward good.
But those who were truly good were usually overly selfless people like Wenren Muyue. She was already struck with a fatal illness, yet she still remembered these sick outsider children.
Perhaps she had never prayed that she would be able to recover, but always prayed for those kids to get better quickly so that they can get discharged as soon as possible.
The merit points she had accumulated were used up to fulfill these wishes to the point that there was no longer any left for herself.
Chen Xiaobei could not possibly tell her these things. He would just have to find a way to help Wenren Muyue overcome this damnation within the six months she had left.
“I’m sorry. I’ve misspoken.”
Miao Yiyue immediately regretted what he had said, realizing that he should not have mentioned Wenren Muyue’s illness.
“You have. I don’t think that God has failed me. Compared to the kids who are so poor they can’t afford to eat, I am so much more blessed. I am already very satisfied!”
Wenren Muyue flashed her teeth, her smile was like the summer rays that warmed hearts.
“Oh… You silly girl…”
Miao Yiyue shook his head affectionately, but there was a stinging pain in his heart, a dejection.
“Ms. Muyue is not silly at all. She is at peace with life and death, and satisfied with what she had. That is some great wisdom there!” Chen Xiaobei said in all seriousness.
“Mr. Chen, you have to stop praising me…” Wenren Muyue blushed again. She quickly tried to change the subject. “Let’s get in! We don’t much time left, we better hurry up and try to visit as many of those children as possible!”
“Alright! Let’s go!” Chen Xiaobei smiled.
Miao Yiyue was still uncertain about Chen Xiaobei, thinking to himself, “Could this kid really do it? He needs to possess certain professional skills to do it. Just because he could cure Muyue, doesn’t mean that he could cure all kinds of sickness, right?”
…
The Special Care Unit.
Wenren Muyue had donated to the hospital with a request that they build this unit. Currently, it housed three children with strange and complicated illnesses.
If Wenren Muyue had not stepped in, the hospital would have sent these children home to their parents.
“Oh, there’s only three of them? I thought there would be more!” Chen Xiaobei remarked.
Nearly every minute in the hospitals back on earth, there would be new patients checking in. Some of them even had to sleep in the corridors.
This was such a big contrast.
“There’s something Mr. Chen doesn’t know.” Wenren Muyue explained, “There’s no pollution here in Northern Wilderness Starfield. The food we eat here are mostly unprocessed, pure Spiritual Items. Under normal circumstances, the people here will never fall sick. It’s even rarer for someone to contract strange illnesses.”
“Oh, no wonder… This really is a high-ranking starfield!” Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, “Let’s go in then! Let’s try our best to get them all out of the hospital today!”
Both Wenren Muyue and Miao Yiyue’s eyes widened at Chen Xiaobei’s statement.
